humm, Logitech makes some nice steering wheels imo, you can see them at www.logitech.com ofcourse, they have some nice models, but the ones I saw are pretty expensive like 200€'s but I bet they are very nice quality stuff :D

digo 07-28-2005 02:37 PM

Thankes man.. ye and they also look very good..

Someone know what is the diffrence between the logitch driving force and with the driving force pro?

Vansquish 07-28-2005 02:50 PM

yes...the Driving force is a good wheel, but it only has about 270 degrees of rotation, and the force feedback, while reasonably good, isn't very strong. The Driving Force Pro is probably the best wheel on the market. It has 900 degrees of rotation, (more than 2 turns from lock to lock in other words), very strong force feedback and is designed to run in 2 modes. The first mode is designed to take advantage of the wheel's extra range of mobility for games like GT4 and a couple of others. The second mode is for games which don't support the full 900 degree movement range and as a result, the wheel locks itself down to 270 degrees to function with every racing game out there.

I have both wheels. The Driving Force was the top of the line up until a year ago when the Pro came out. The Driving Force Pro would be my recommendation.

digo 07-28-2005 03:42 PM

thnkes man.. i think the pro will be my choice... do you know if in www.logitech.com they ship it to israel and how much will cost the tacses...

Vansquish 07-28-2005 06:03 PM

This is about as good as I can do... http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/st...me/IL/EN,cid=0

If you can buy from an online store like Amazon.com, then I'm sure that you can get ahold of one that way. Here's a link for that sort of thing:

Good luck and enjoy the wheel!! :-D

digo 07-28-2005 06:45 PM

thankes alot :D

Vansquish 07-28-2005 06:47 PM

No prob! :-)

Vansquish 07-29-2005 07:21 PM

DFP 900 - same as you... ;) (among others)

Vansquish 07-29-2005 11:40 PM

Ahhh..very good, very good. I've got a couple others too obviously...Microsoft Sidewinder something-or-other for the computer...but the DFP 900 is better anyway.

RC45 07-29-2005 11:42 PM

I use the DFP on the PC as well.

Vansquish 07-30-2005 02:05 AM

Yeah, I made the switch as soon as I got it, the Force Feedback is a huge step up on even the Microsucks one.

im not going to refute the term... but where does 'taking the piss' become 'youre kiddding, rihgt?' ???

on this side our expressions are much less involved... to me, this is analagous to: 'its a very windy day' by saying 'stubble has grown'

hehe :P

RC45 07-30-2005 06:56 PM

^^^ Well, there are regional variations.

You may hear "You must be pulling my leg..." "You must be pulling my piss" "you taking the piss..." etc...

Normally in response to a question with an obvious common sense answer... :P

Others would be "taking the mickey" "yanking my chain" ;)

exhausted mules 07-30-2005 07:00 PM

in canada, "taking a piss" means relingquishing. giving up but standing back up amonst the crowd.

like... breaking the seal.. but on way deeper meaning.

ppl write songs about this!

you british.... all confused...

RC45 07-30-2005 07:04 PM

^^^ Well in the rest of the Colonies 'taking a piss" means urinating... ;)

SFDMALEX 07-30-2005 07:12 PM

In Canada, Toronto to be exact taking a piss means urinating. And being "pissed" means being angry.

RC45 07-30-2005 07:19 PM

Another interesting one... being "pissed" means being drunk... being "pissed off" is angry... being "pissed on" is just sad.. ;)

It's all in the details.. :P hehe

SFDMALEX 07-30-2005 11:07 PM

/\/\/\Well here I dont notice a lot of "pissed off" recently it just got shortened to "pissed"..."Im fucking pissed man"....and "piss" is also used to exajurate being drunk "Im piss drunk man"...hehe

digo 08-01-2005 09:37 AM

I really dont know whats all those sentenses mean..

About the driving force pro The problem with that is that in israel they dont have it and any store or site you wont find it.. Than I cant buy it, it sucks...
Anyway Is it worth to buy the driving force? Is the driving force is fun with Gran turismo 4?

That is why you go to eBay - create an account, find a wheel for sale - and ask the seller if they will ship/cost ect. Then you will need to approach your local post office for specific local rulse regulaitons and other controls.

Yes
Yes

Buy the damn thing already. :D

Vansquish 08-01-2005 12:24 PM

I'm with RC45 on this one. The Driving Force *PRO* really improves the quality of the game. If you can't find the thing in a store, register an account with Ebay or Amazon.com and buy one. There are plenty of online "stores" on both and it shouldn't be very hard to find one that carries the wheel and will ship to Israel.

digo 08-01-2005 12:33 PM

see thats what i did already and no one in ebay ships it to israel..
Anyway my question about is it worth to buy the driving force? Is the driving force is fun with Gran turismo 4?
is ment for the driving force, The old Model and not for the pro...

Well - keep looking - eventually one will show up.

What about searching eBay UK or Europe?

digo 08-01-2005 02:00 PM

NO matter man i dont buy From internatiol site ... Just from where i live.. Tell ma please is the driving force NOT THE PRO is worth the buy?

Well - if you ask for advice, but say you're not gonna take it - *shrug* - so be it.

The DF Pro is new, the DF is old. 2 completely different products. Is it worth it? Sure. Is it as good? No.

Vansquish 08-01-2005 02:33 PM

Why not buy from an international site? There are plenty out there and what about that logitech site I posted for you, can't they order one for you?

digo 08-01-2005 02:55 PM

In th site they wrote ship only to usa and canda i think.. anyway if i order it from an international i donnt know in what conditions it will be when i get it and also i its broken down or somthing like that... I dont wont to mess with those things..

Vansquish 08-01-2005 06:58 PM

That's a poor excuse. If you want the wheel, then there are definitely ways to get it via Ebay or Amazon, I know for a fact that most Ebay sellers will ship outside the US/Canada and that there are European and Asian versions. There are entire businesses that do online transactions only, and that is how I've gotten each of my wheels. The prices are generally quite a bit less than what you'd pay in a store, and you can get brand new equipment anyway, so the broken down bit is...not generally a problem. You just have to be mindful of with whom you're conducting the transaction and make sure that it's a reputable source.

Additionally, Amazon.com DOES ship to Israel, I just checked.
I copied part of their page here to prove it:

Thankes man .. ypu helped alot.. I will try that right now ..

digo 08-02-2005 08:46 AM

See when i choose "Ship to this adress and i wrote my adress and the other stuff it says this :

*** We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order by changing its quantity to 0 and clicking the update button below. ( See geographical restrictions.) ***


There is another thing i found - International Addresses

:Only the following items can be shipped to destinations outside the U.S.:

books
DVDs
music
VHS videos

Note: Books that require special handling because they are extremely heavy (for example, multi-volume sets) cannot be shipped outside the U.S. If this is the case, it will be noted on the product detail page."

Than i think they wont ship the wheel outside USA......

SFDMALEX 08-02-2005 12:35 PM

Amazon does not ship electronics outside US. Only CDs, DVD, VHS, that type of thing.

pharzo 08-02-2005 12:48 PM

you could try amazon.co.uk or amazon.de

RC45 08-02-2005 01:46 PM

Or eBay "anywhere else"

Vansquish 08-03-2005 01:35 AM

I don't know for sure, but I imagine they're still producing the DFP, I saw some in the CompUSA near where I live within the last 2 days.

LAMBOR 08-03-2005 05:09 AM

Just giving my personal opinion about DFP, i think nobody minds.

I don't know if the problem is me or my model was a bad one.

First the coating layer started to get off quickly on the hands zone, maybe because it's too sticky, leather would be a lot better.
Then when braking quick and hard, in my house floor, the pedals slided a bit. Problem solved by attaching under an iron bar with about 2 kilos.

Another detail is the gearshift knob, i think it has too much electronic feel (you can hear the micro-switch tik-tak) and too short movement travel, i would like a more mechanical touch.

The worst part was one day when did the first turn and the wheel slided on the desk table. Picked something to squeeze that odd "screws" a bit more, and when i barely touched it cracked. Went to the shop, and no warranty for that. I understand that i squeezed in earlier times maybe a little too much, because my desk table is in Formica, and the DFP moves a bit (IT DON'T HAS ANY KIND OF RUBBER BAND under to prevent this).
Problem solved by opening it (loose warranty) and make a new broken piece in alluminium.

By now with more than 7000Kms on it, it's working well. I never buyed any other model or brand before, but for what i've read, maybe it's the best you can buy, specially with the 900° feature.

LAMBOR 08-03-2005 06:38 AM

I almost forgot to say that i added some self adhesive rubber bands under the DFP in order to give more stability on the table desk.

digo 08-03-2005 06:54 AM

What is Rubber bands?
